We need you to help make this event our best yet! Volunteers must be at least 15 years old. It takes a small village of volunteers for this event to run like clockwork. We need help with everything from set up on Friday night to tear down on Saturday night and everything in between! We'd love to have you as part of our Community Volunteer Team!

COOKS! Register now to come show what you are made of! We host a NC Pork Sanctioned BBQ event with our whole hogs being judged by NC Pork Council judges. We also host competitions in both chicken and ribs. These categories are judged by our local "celebrity judges".

For judging you will turn in approximately 1/2 lb – enough to fill the bottom of a white Styrofoam clamshell plate. The remaining pork will be chopped up and turned in to the food tent for sale.
